The Trial: USA · All He Has Is Kanye in His Corner · 21 Mar 2025 podcast

On his call, Diddy instructed Kanye to, quote, have some effing fun and to, quote, get behind the mic. Now, there has been some online speculation about the recording's authenticity, but the Post's source confirmed that the call was real and not A.I.,

And Kanye being Kanye, he sampled some of Diddy's warm words from the call and used them as an intro for a new song called Lonely Road Still Go to Sunshine. That last Saturday, he shared a snippet of in a since deleted post on X. We'll also definitely get into that with Lou Shapiro in this week's interview.

Well, welcome back to The Trial of Diddy. And today we have attorney and legal analyst Lou Shapiro. Thanks so much, Lou, for coming back to our show.

Yes. And can you kindly tell us first your background in federal criminal courts?

He has a lot of experience with analyzing a lot of these big cases. So very fortunate to have you on the show. Now, Lou, a lot has happened since we last spoke. Diddy is now in a federal lockup since, gosh, September 16th. He has remained there for, gosh, despite several attempts to be released on bail. And now actually it looks like the May 5th court date will be pushed back by a week.

The trial looks like it's going to start now on May 12th. Now, do you anticipate that it will actually move forward on May 12th?

And just today, as you mentioned, the federal prosecutors were told to hand over the names of those three alleged victims who are, again, connected to the federal criminal indictment. And the judge's order said their identities were disclosed to Diddy's attorneys, quote, under attorney's eyes only designation. Can you explain what that means?

Since Diddy's own attorneys had previously referred to Cassie as victim one.

But the fact was, I think Diddy's attorneys actually also said that the other victims were possible former girlfriends. Would that affect the case in terms of what will be discussed moving forward now that these names are sealed for now?

Now, how about witnesses in the case? There hasn't been a release of any witness lists as far as we've heard, but could that be made available or made public anytime soon?

Wow. Given the fact that these allegations span years and also given who the defendant is, what do you expect that witness list to look like? Some A-listers possibly?

You talked a little bit about the gag order. So how will that work? Will the public not learn the names of the folks in the witnesses until trial starts? Or will that be released earlier? Like we're now in the pretrial motion phase, right?

Now, can the judge actually close the court when victims one, two, and three testify?

Oh, wow.

So then the witness's testimony will not be public or the transcript would be sealed? Is that what will happen or what could happen?

So the transcripts of the testimony would be public, but their names will be kept out. I know like the Weinstein case, it was an open court and they did testify in person. I guess some of their names were not made public, right?

Now, there was some discussion at Diddy's hearing last week that the jury might possibly be sequestered or that there might be some indication that could be a possibility. Do you think this will actually happen in this case?

That's interesting. You think that because there's more access to media and all of that, that there would be a sequester. But I guess taking from your standpoint, like there's it's really almost an impossibility to even avoid that. But the judge does tell the jurors that they're not supposed to read and consume any news having to do with the case.

I mean, just the sheer thinking of even trying to sequester a jury for this case and how long it could take. I don't recall how much sequestering the O.J. Simpson case jurors were, but they were out there for like eight and a half months or something, right?

Now, one of the more talked about developments from last week's hearing was actually Diddy's physical appearance. And it sounds like he is giving up on dying his hair and he was noticeably gray and had gained some weight. Now, we actually had a reporter out there, Dan Bates. He's covered the case for a while now, and he was actually shocked to see how Diddy looked.
